Jatamansi has been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine for thousands of years. Ancient texts reference it as a divya aushadhi (divine herb) used by sages for calming the mind during meditation. It was also a key ingredient in ancient perfumes and religious rituals due to its grounding fragrance. Found mainly in the Himalayan region, Jatamansi has historically been prized for its restorative effects on the nervous system and hair health.
